2.7 Thermal Performance

The internal cooling system of the Studio One fixture is by convection and built with automatic protection. The fixture’s

automatic protection reduces the output when the internal temperature reaches the maximum limit due to extreme ambient
conditions.

3. Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting is a process of elimination. First, rule out the other field factors (i.e. bad connections, faulty cables and
power supplies). For technical support and/or parts, please contact your selling dealer or the offices listed in this manual.

Symptom Possible Cause Solution

Fixture does not respond
to DMX control.

Low LED output. Internal temperature is over the limit. Check area ventilation.

Set to wrong or different DMX address.
Bad cable connecting DMX control and fixture.
Bad in/through connection between adjacent
fixtures.

Check DMX address and Mode
settings.
Check/replace DMX run from the
console.

5. Maintenance

With care, the Studio One 100 requires little maintenance. However, as the unit is likely to be used in a stage environment

we recommend periodical internal inspection and cleaning of any resulting dust and cracked oil residue. If the front
enclosure requires cleaning, wipe with a mild detergent on a damp cloth.
